February 2021 Diversity

 Hello Everyone!

This month we are learning about diversity.  Diversity is what makes us different from each other.  Can you think of ways that we are different from each other?  Hair, skin, eyes, clothes, homes, personalities, families, skills and abilities, etc...  Diversity is what makes us all special (unique)!


I am going to read the book The Colors of Us by Karen Katz.  Here is the link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O58brpCvmRs

In this story, a little girl named Lena takes a walk through her community and she compares everyone she meets to a shade of brown.  Lena compares the shade of brown to something she likes.  Her mother is teaching her how to mix paint colors to make different shades.  At the end of the story, Lena is able to paint pictures of all the people she met using different shades of brown by mixing red, yellow, black and white.

We are all different but being different makes us special (unique)! 

***I have a special request...I would like to prepare a career day video using our parents.  If you are willing, I would love for you to create a 5 minute video of you (parent) at your place of employment (job).  In the video, please tell your job title and give a description of what you do.  If you can video what you do that would be great!  Then send your video to me by February 19th, 2021. I will use this for our career exploration lesson coming up in March.
